Slight RAKE with H and R springs....suggestions?

There really is not rake but the appearance of rake really annoys me. Could another set of springs work? Is there another way of raising rear slightly to decrease look of rake?

Any suggestions please.

Thanks.

You could try the front lowering spring perches from Supreme Power for a mere $75. Lowers the front end further, about a half inch at most.

i am ordering the spring perches along with h&r springs and bilsteins this week...i think MASSBIMMER is absolutely right the .5 extra front drop should be evened out nicely...

Thanks....

It is fine with the VMR's on there, just worried about the look when the winter stocks go on.

There is no rake just a more flush rear than front look that again only the people on this board and myself would notice.

The dealers suggested thicker BMW pads in the rear to raise the rear slightly. I do not want to lowere the front because of winter conditions and I drive over speed bumps daily at works.
